I ordered the wedding invitations last sunday. last monday they called to check some stuff, they shipped them friday, and here they are!
this morning i woke up early and panicked about my lack of wedding-preparedness but WE HAVE INVITATIONS!
the weekend was a blur of packing. amy and jim have been living at kevin’s house for about a month while their house was being finished. we started hauling box after box of stuff over to their new lovely and spacious home on saturday morning, and now their gigantic garage is filled with things.
and they’ve spent a YEAR getting rid of stuff.
americans, people with TOO MUCH STUFF.
actually, i’m sure it’s like that in other countries too.
so we’re very slowly starting to move all my stuff from my apartment to MFH’s house, plus all the stuff he had that was a my place…it’s a blur of moving. it’s a lot easier moving somebody else’s crap, because you can just lug it around and set it down and you’re not in charge of doing something with it. and there’s a satified smugness you can have of not having SO MUCH STUFF.
of course that feeling is completely gone, now that i’m faces with an apartment full of stuff that i DO NOT KNOW WHY I HAVE.
not to mention that i’ve been trying to memorize my lines for this show i’m doing on july 7th adn 8th at the hoogland center, “danger: adult content.” this one sketch is very very funny but i have many many lines and i hope you get a chance to come see the show. in this one sketch i’m a woman who is turning into a bag lady. this is sort of appropriate given the huge quantities of junk i’m always carrying around. the other day we took my car to be washed and K. started picking stuff up from the space below the dashboard and he kept asking me if i really needed the spoon and the highlighter and the 27 pens. YES I NEED THEM. what if i want to eat pudding? and what if i need to write something, and then i need to highlight it?
i have to tell you about our serious TICK ENCOUNTERS at giant city state park, but right now i have to rush away.
i hope your monday is a good one.
ok then,
june grace.
